It has come to our attention that this year’s Michigan Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (MAND) conference is partly sponsored by McDonald’s. Hopefully, dietitians in Michigan who have concerns about such sponsorship can mobilize and engage in dialogue with MAND leadership.

Remember, the California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics had McDonald’s as its conference gold sponsor for years, until significant outcry resulted in the termination of that partnership.

If you’re aware of other conferences with problematic sponsors, please let us know.
